| Abstract;Flat retinal detachment developed in the right eye of a 14-year-old boy. The right eye had been diagnosed with morning glory syndrome at the age of 8 months. His left eye was normal. A retinal break was detected in the disc area during vitrectomy. Retinal detachment recurred after repeated surgeries. Although the retinal break was found to have closed during the last and fourth vitreous surgery, the eye became blind due to bullous retinal detachment. There are two possibilities in the cause of retinal detachment secondary to morning glory syndrome. One is due to retinal break in the disc area. The other is due to inflow of cerebrospinal fluid into the subretinal space. Surgery may be performed to attach the detached retina to the inner eye-wall without closure of retinal break. As an alternative, surgery may be performed to block entrance of subarachnoid fluid into the subretinal space by closing the retinal break in the disc area. (author abst.) |
